Jan, pictured here, was encouraged out on to the highway for her own hitchhiking adventure, although she is adamant she would never hitchhike on her own.
Young reader Gyda, pictured below, is taking on a huge challenge, her own long journey, trying to wade through the 560 page epic.
Many other Aussie readers say it was the perfect time to put this book out to the marketplace.
Launched during the Christmas holidays in Australia, so plenty of time to relax in an apartment, beside the beach, and wade through this door stopper of a book.
Luckily, A Hitchhiker's Triptych is written in a way which features thousands of little stories, woven together into one big story. Easy to read for a bit, put it down, then come back hours later and pick it up, to read another set of stories.
The segments tie together to hold the reader's interest until the very last sentence.
Many readers are greatly enjoying the book. Reviews have been very kind.
Step back into the 1970s. Life wasn't complicated then. Young travellers didn't need wads of of money. Simply stand beside the road. Stick out a thumb. See where you end up.
Complete freedom. What a wonderful, uncomplicated world.
Long gone now.
Does hitchhiking even exist these days? Possibly not. Certainly not on the scale seen back in the 1960s and 1970s, when thousands of hitchhikers hit the road every day.
What a different world it was back then. Let A Hitchhiker's Triptych take you there. Back into a carefree world. No internet. No mobile phones. No holes-in-the-wall to withdraw money. A time when notes were wrapped in a tight bundle and kept in a leather pouch around your neck. A hitchhiker's travelling bank.
In today's hectic, sometimes chaotic, scroll-up-an-instant-answer world, life can sometimes feel crowded, frenetic.
Relax. Kick back, join this journey.
A Hitchhiker's Triptych. Drift along highways.
Take the time to enjoy this long-lost, wonderful world.
